Hi all! I feed prey model and like Ann said, feeding a raw wing isn't a problem. In fact, its great exercise for their jaws and neck muscles, helps keep tarter to a minimum and keep clean teeth and the bones are a great source of calcium!

My advice:
-Have a crate or gated area sectioned off BEFORE giving your pup the wing. (I learned this the hard way, chasing my dogs off the bed as they dragged raw chicken parts everywhere. Yuck.)

-Always supervise! Even though raw bones don't splinter, especially for pups not used to eating this way, you want to make sure you are watching them. Dogs who are 'gulpers' need some training, usually just a human holding onto one end so the dog slows down and chews...

-Read up, do your research and enjoy watching your mini-carnivores get down on some meaty feasting!

I actually buy 1 pasture raised, antibiotic and hormone free chicken (or duck or turkey, whatever I can find) per week and just cut it up and offer the parts to my furkids throughout the week as their meals. I split the organs between the two of them as part of the meals 1 or 2 times a week as they are vital parts of their diet. As for portions, I got an idea as to how many ounces they needed using Prey Model calculator (Google it) and now I just eyeball it. If they are feeling a little heavier, I scale back or a little thin, they get more! Easy!

For breakfast, my dogs usually have some plain yogurt and berries. I'd say I spend about 14$ a week to feed my two dogs and my vet thinks they are shining examples of how easy and beneficial prey model feeding can be!

I do get some other foods from pet suppliers from time to time, like fresh green tripe, cow parts and of course, plenty of bully sticks for chewing, but its pretty straight forward. I do supplement with Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Oil or Wild Salmon Oil (I rotate between buying the two) for improved coat, skin, heart, and eye health, but thats all!
